Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 cantaloupe or honeydew melon, cut into 1-inch-thick slices, rinds and seeds removed
4 teaspoons vegetable oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup chopped pine nuts
Black pepper
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

Steps:

  • Turn on broiler; heat should be medium-high and rack no closer than 4 inches from heat source.
  • Brush melon all over with oil and put on a rimmed baking sheet. Broil until beginning to color, 3 to 8 minutes depending on your broiler.
  • Turn melon carefully (or skip it if the melon seems too tender to turn), sprinkle with salt. Broil until melon is fully tender, another 2 or 3 minutes; sprinkle with nuts and pass under broiler again until pieces just begin to toast, no more than 1 minute. Sprinkle with lots of black pepper and drizzle with balsamic. Serve warm or at room temperature.

I'm not sure what I was expecting, but this dish exceeded my expectations. The melon is tender and juicy, and the balsamic glaze is a perfect complement. I'll definitely be making this again.

This dish is a great way to use up leftover melon. I had some cantaloupe that was about to go bad, so I tried this recipe. It turned out great!

This recipe is a delightful surprise! Who would have thought that broiling melon could be so delicious? The balsamic glaze adds a perfect touch of sweetness and tanginess. I served it as a side dish with grilled chicken and it was a hit!
